A very quiet week for new releases this week. Here are a couple that may interest you althuogh to be honest they haven't really interested me!
Mr Hudson - 'Straight No Chaser'
The second studio album from Mr (Ben) Hudson comes out this week produced by himself and good friend Kanye West. The second single from the album "Supernova" featuring the vocals of Kanye West has had a lot of radio play and is certainly a song that will get stuck in your head. It is a very varied album as far as musical styles are concerned with influences being heard from indie rock to RnB to hip-hop to pop. To be honest I wouldn't ever chose to listen to this album simply because it's not really a style of music I am a fan of. If you are into your hip-hop/RnB however I would certainly recommend you check it out.
Mr Hudson – Straight No Chaser
Spandau Ballet - 'Once More'
I have more included this as it is yet another comeback album from a band that split up years ago rather than it actually being a record I think you should check out! Slightly before my time they were one of the biggest bands of the 80's releasing such classics as "Gold" (the only song I've ever known by them!). After breaking up in 1990 they return 19 years later to release their seventh studio album. This isn't really a new album however, 11 of the 13 songs are old songs which they have re-recorded this year leaving only two completely new songs. The re-recordings of the old songs have been done in an attempt to bring their sound up to date and into the 21st century. I have no idea what the originals sounded like so can't really tell you what has changed but it does seem to be a more semi-acoustic feel with less of the 80's synths.
